The City is recognized as the oldest continuously occupied European settlement in the United States. Its colonial roots to Spain, and England are unique. The desire to protect, preserve, understand, and promote the unique cultural crossroads that St. Augustine represents prompted the City to include a Historic Preservation Element as part of the City’s Comprehensive Plan. To this end, the Historic Preservation Element contains a historical outline, analysis of resources both built and archaeological, and a set of Goals, Objectives and Policies to establish preservation needs. Purpose The Historic Preservation Element helps to serve as a guide for the development and use of land within the City of St. Augustine. This includes recognizing all the aspects of preservation of the city, and the very real threats to the remaining historic built environment, archaeological record, and its unique characteristics. The historic colonial Town Plan, and the surrounding historic residential neighborhoods, and commercial corridors need to be considered from a preservation perspective as time moves forward.

  • A Chronology of Spanish Florida 1513 to 1821
    Conquistadores in the Land of Flowers: A Chronology of Spanish Florida 1513 to 1821 Compiled by Paul Eugen Camp Special Collections Department University of South Florida Library Tampa 2001 The First Spanish Period, 1513-1763 To a late sixteenth century Spaniard, “Florida” was a vast land stretching as far north as Chesapeake Bay and west to a point beyond the Mississippi. In the first half of the 1500's, Spain launched a series of expeditions to explore and colonize Florida. Although these expeditions brought back geographic knowledge, they were costly in blood and treasure, and failed to achieve a permanent Spanish settlement. The establishment of St. Augustine in 1565 marked the true beginning of Spain’s Florida colony. The remainder of the century saw the establishment of further settlements and the beginning of the mission system. During the seventeenth century, Spanish Florida prospered moderately, with an extensive system of Franciscan missions stretching from northern Georgia to the Florida panhandle, and large cattle ranchos operating in the Tallahassee and Alachua areas. At the beginning of the eighteenth century, war with England destroyed the missions and ranchos, and with them any hope of Florida becoming more than an isolated military frontier. By the time Spain turned Florida over to the British in 1763, Spanish control was limited to little more than St. Augustine, Pensacola and a few other outposts. 1510 Unrecorded Spanish expeditions searching for indian slaves probably reached the Florida coast as early as 1510, possibly even earlier. In 1565, the Spanish Council of the Indies claimed that Spanish ships had “gone to occupy” Florida ever since 1510.
